Description
Extra thick salmon-orange flesh that actually gets sweeter in dry, hot conditions. Each oval-shaped melon averages three to five pounds, is heavily netted and has a small seed cavity.
Cantaloupe prefers a warm, sunny location with fertile soil. Sow outdoors in spring two weeks after last frost when soil has completely warmed or start indoors three weeks before last frost date. Do not disturb tender roots when transplanting. Water consistently. Harvest when the stem slips easily from the fruit and melons have sweet scent.
